Ice Cream In Vegetable Soup

Got an ice cream cone in one hand While typing with the other Why does ice cream make us seniors Beg for another and another! Isn't ice cream only for kiddies? Wow! That's surely not the case Old folks can down a chocolate sundae Beg for more with a messy face! Maybe it makes us feel younger Or it's simply just a treat As we lick away like happy spaniels A sensation that can't be beat! Really not shy about our craving We'd fight for another scoop There's many other ways to try it Imagine ice cream in vegetable soup? So stay away from old folks When they're lining up for some They'll push and shove and step on your face For a scoop of butterscotch rum! © Jack Ellison 2015

G'day young Jack... I think whoever claimed that ice cream was only for kids got themselves lynched - Lindsay
